Connection to a TV set with HDMI/DVI output:
Since Dune HD Center is designed first of all for playback of high definition (HD) video (up to
1080p), the best way of signal transmission from player to a TV set or projector is the HDMI
interface. In this case, video and audio streams are transmitted in digital form, without
losses, allowing enjoying excellent picture and sound. It is recommended to connect the
player to any compatible equipment using original DUNE HDMI cable (option).
If your TV set has no HDMI socket, but it is equipped with DVI one, you can use an original DUNE
HDMI-DVI adapter (to be connected to HDMI-HDMI cable) or Dune HDMI-DVI cable (no adapter
needed). In this case, transmission of audio stream is only available separately, from an analog
audio or digital optical output.
1) Make sure that the player and the TV set are
switched off. Do not switch on until the end of
connection procedure.
2) Connect the HDMI output of the player with
appropriate HDMI/DVI input of the TV set using
a HDMI-HDMI cable for HDMI input of your TV
set, or HDMI-DVI cable or HDMI-HDMI cable
with HDMI-DVI adapter, for DVI input of your
TV set.
3) Using RC of TV or projector (depending on
what you use), select required input and display
mode. For more instructions please refer to the
manual of your displaying equipment.
4) Wait until you see a picture on screen of your TV (or projection) set received from the player.
HDMI IN
Connection to a TV set with component video signal
input (Component Video, Y, Cb, Cr)
For this connection you should use a 3RCA-3RCA video cable and (optionally) a 2RCA-
2RCA audio cable for sound transmission to your TV set. Please note that video cable
shall have an impedance of 75 Ohm, i.e. specially fitted for transmission of analog video
signal.
1) Make sure that the player and TV set are
switched off. Do not switch on until the end
of connection procedure.
2) Connect the component video output of
media player with relevant TV input using a
3RCA-3RCA cable.
3) Optionally connect audio output AUDIO L
R of the player with relevant input of TV set
using a 2RCA-2 RCA cable (note: you can
use optical cable to transmit digital audio
to your A/V receiver; this way better audio
quality result may be expected).
4) Using RC of TV or projector (depending
on what you use), select required input
and display mode. For more instructions
please refer to the manual of your displaying
equipment.

programs). Firmware update may resolve problems of playback of some files. This procedure may
be made by the user or by a technician of post-sales service center.

and PLS play lists are supported). More advanced mechanisms will be available in future firmware
releases.
